Brutal honesty sure can be entertaining! :lol: It also serves to remind us not to take ourselves too seriously - in spite of the importance of the things we do for our pets!
Good thing we're all among friends here!

Oh, boy - been there... SO miserable. I say a silent prayer every time Robbie heads to the LB - well I used to now I follow him with a Ketone testing strip...

You did scare me! Glad things are still going well. I see you have been paying it forward in PZI land. Fantastic!

Thanks Sue, glad to have you back!
One good thing happened last night....I've been trying to cut back on his intake until I see more output so we don't have another "I can't poop so I'm gonna puke all over your new shoes" episode. So somebody is a little hungrier than normal, and I caught him eating Ms. Kitten's raw food! Previously he had just given her the "WTF are you eating!?!" look....so he's been snacking on it pretty good so far today. Much better for him, I'm thinking, because it drastically reduced the amount of poop from Ms. Kitten and has made it much smaller sized bits. Bad for me because I now have to make enough food to feed 27lbs of cat, making a double batch to last a month was alright....now I'm thinking I need to start cooking off 40lbs of leg quarters at a time and I might get 3 weeks out of it!
He's doing a bit better...I told him "A nugget a day keeps the KY finger away", he seems to be listening!

Ok I lost it on that one - so seriously you do these ahhh, evacuations yourself? I really have been reluctant to do that and the vet bills for when Robbie is, ummm, shall we say Plugged up- have been ridiculous. I seriously want to learn how to give him an enema as that is what typically finally works for him - although now with all the water hes consuming we are in pretty good shape. On Saturday I'll probably be switching him over to miralax, right now we are still on the metimucal but MUCH less than a week ago and although we had a bit of a scare the other day he's cleaned out pretty well again.
This "mega colon" stuff is for the birds - first time Robbie ever used the LB in my house when he was just under 1 yr old I was SHOCKED - I'd had big cats before but what came out of this guy was just not cat sized... :shock:
